--------------------
This community group aims to be a forum for the statistics community and
the Linked Data community to examine issues arising from applying
semantic technologies in the statistical production process and to
report on best practises in the use of statistics on the Web of data. In
particular the group will discuss use cases of the application of the
Data Cube vocabulary in the production of official statistics and
establish if there is a need for more standardisation of vocabularies to
ensure comparability of statistics data on the Web of Data.


Potential participants in this group are members of official statistics
agencies and other government bodies that produce data (e.g.
administrative, geospatial, government funded research results),
statisticians, researchers and anyone in the Web of Data community who
is interested in the publication of statistical data that can lead to
statistical analysis of the maximum rigour.


The group will coordinate as appropriate with the Government Linked Data
WG and other relevant groups within the W3C Data Activity Coordination
Group.


This group will not publish specifications.
